Guru Randhawa’s ‘Azul’ song faces flak for se*ualizing minors

Guru Randhawa’s latest song, ‘Azul,’ has found itself at the center of a major controversy. The music video, which was released on August 6, depicts the singer as a photographer at an all-girls school, a concept that critics are calling out for its “s*xualized, p*rnograph*c, and problematic” undertones. This was not the only issue, as viewers pointed out the depiction of adult women portraying young, school-going girls and the video’s subtle comparison of them to various alcohol brands.

According to a report, Sonam Kapoor agrees that the music video is problematic, as she has liked a post that has criticized the song.

Guru Randhawa’s ‘Azul’ music video receives intense backlash

Since its release, Guru Randhawa’s ‘Azul’ music video has faced severe criticism from audiences who believe it promotes the sexualization of minors. The comments on social media platforms have been flooded with strong reactions from viewers expressing concern. On one of his posts promoting the song, one social media user wrote, “WHY ARE WE OBJECTIFYING SCHOOL GIRLS IN BIG 2025.” Another person posted, “Wht on school girl??? What pedophilia is this.” An Instagram user commented, “Can’t believe im witnessing minor schoolgirls’ fetish fetish in 2025🤦🏻‍♀️ and how is this not seen as problematic 😭 please don’t normalise this weird thing.” One went on to add, “Stop normalising objectifying young girls… This is wrong in so many ways.” Last but not least, a comment read, “A 33 year old man fetishizing a school girl? and instead of calling it out we make it a trend.”

However, it seems, after the backlash, the singer has turned off the comment section for all the other posts.
